Actual X-Plan Purchase Spec Sheet

I'm not ready to speak with a dealer just yet. I'm trying to determine how much my "perfect" truck will cost using my X-Plan discount with all my optional features included. Surely someone who has recently purchased a new 2010 F150 using the X-Plan has a copy of their spec sheet for which they would be willing to share???
I went to the Ford website and did a "Build your Own" but the only price they shared was the MSRP minus rebates and such. I am seeking more detailed information about the X-Plan discount and how it is applied to optional features. I have a valid X-Plan registration but that website only shares the difference of the base model price between MSRP and X-Plan and not the options.
Clear as mud?

There used to be a Ford Partner link to dealer inventory that showed X-Plan pricing, but that is no longer available. You can go to Edmunds.com and look up the "invoice" costs of the truck and the options. Add around $700 or so for FDAF (local advertising fees--non-negotiable), $15 for gas, and the freight charge. Then tack on approx. $200 and you should be near X-Plan. For example, my truck listed for $38,840, X-Plan was $35,753 and there were $5,250 in incentives available when I bought so the selling price ended up being $30,503 plus $75 in doc. fees plus tax and license tags.

Doocrue -- my understanding is with x-plan you get all rebates that are advertised to the public plus any that may be offered to x-plan only. In other words you would not lose rebates or have to take less of a rebate by using your x-plan code. I have heard that it is possible to get a deal without using x-plan but very unlikely.

Also, when you use X-Plan, dealers can only charge you a max of $75 in doc fees. If they talk you out of using your X-Plan PIN, then they can charge higher doc fees which equals extra profit. Have them email or fax you worksheets calculated both ways and have them prove that your out-the-door costs would be less not using X-Plan. That way you are not on their turf and they have to convince you to come in and buy.

X plan pricing is below invoice pricing. It's .4% below or 200 - 400 dollars depending on the vehicle. If using X plan, be sure to ask your salesperson to look up to see if Ford is offering additional X plan rebates. I saved an extra 750 back when the 07's first came out with my pin.
It's not out of the question for dealers to offer better deals then what you get with plan pricing. Persue that to see if they will beat the price. Heck, today's market should have dealers working a bit harder to make a deal.
Check out this link, Earnhardt Ford X-Plan Family it shows you an invoice where you can see the different plan pricing. Ford makes it really easy. Be sure your dealer shows you the invoice. If they wont, WALK.

I wouldn't pay any Doc fees either. The sellers are required by law in all 50 states and probably all the provinces and territories to supply you with all of the documents and paperwork to legally title and plate the vehicle in your place of domcile. That is just part of the cost of being in the car business like paying the electric bill. The dealers have to have someone with the capability of processing the paperwork whether they sell a vehicle or not. The doc fees are just another add-on rip off by the dealer. I have walked out of more than one deal over doc fees.
